By William Peacock, Esq. on January 22, 2014 12:12 PM When it comes to the Juris Doctorate, do you get what you pay for? That's a loaded question, obviously. Some might argue that with current job market. no one is getting what they paid for. That's why, if you're looking at joining the Class of 2017, the cost of your degree should be one of your biggest considerations (right next to graduates' success in the job market). What are the five cheapest schools? And the cheapest schools worth attending. Quick note: all data is courtesy of the ever-useful Law School Transparency's Non-Discounted Cost estimates, which are the projected debt owned at first loan payment. The assumptions, in regards to interest and tuition hikes, are available on LST's score reports site. Also, this is obvious but is worth repeating: in-state schools are often cheaper.

#This Law Firm Doesn t Hire Ivy League Graduates
There s few doors that a Harvard law degree won t open for you, up to and including the oval office. Though the opportunities for Ivy League law grads mights seem infinite to those of us with less elite pedigrees, there is one law firm that won t even consider hiring these folks.

#Think twice
Think twiceSet your heart on an MBA? Philip Delves Broughton suggests a radical alternative: don t bother Business schools have long sold the promise that, like an F1 driver zipping into the pits for fresh tyres, it just takes a short hiatus on an MBA programme and you will come roaring back into the career race primed to win. After all, it signals to companies that you were good enough to be accepted by a decent business school (so must be good enough for them); it plugs you into a network of fellow MBAs; and, to a much lesser extent, there s the actual classroom education. Why not just pay the bill, sign here and reap the rewards? The problem is that these days it doesn t work like that. Rather, more and more students are finding the promise of business schools to be hollow. The return on investment on an MBA has gone the way of Greek public debt. If you have a decent job in your mid- to late- 20s, unless you have the back ... Read more » |

The business education landscape is dynamic and ever-changing at all levels. New EMBA programs are constantly emerging, while established programs change their focus to cater to the demands of industry and candidates. However, this continually developing landscape can provide a challenge to the ambitious prospective EMBA candidate. Which program(s) to consider? How do programs differentiate themselves? And, perhaps most importantly, which programs have a curriculum that will remain relevant in changing economic times? Executive MBA rankings are perhaps one of the most obvious means of narrowing down program choices, allowing for a comparison of programs over a set of established indicators.

#This Is What Today s Online Learning Content Tells Us About The Future Of School
Today’s children are extremely savvy. They’ve grown up in a world where information was always just a button away. Buttons? Soon, they won’t even need buttons. With Windows 10, they’ll simply say, “hey Cortana.” She’s more like the world’s greatest librarian than a personal assistant. She delivers content on command. In the future, after children have mastered reading, writing, and arithmetic, will more formal schooling still be necessary? Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg I watch the way my own children (boys 7 and 10 years old) learn to play video games. They use Google to search for tips and tricks. They watch seemingly endless YouTube tutorials. Even when they’re trying to do something more complex, such as building their own Minecraft Server on a Raspberry Pi, I barely help.

#Top Five Sports Law Stories For 2015

In Roe v. Wade, 410 U. S. 113 (1973), the U. S. Supreme Court determined that the Constitution protects a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. In a companion case, Doe v. Bolton, 410 U. S. 179 (1973), the Court held further that a state may not unduly burden a woman's fundamental right to abortion by prohibiting or substantially limiting access to the means of effectuating her decision. Rather than settle the issue, the Court's decisions kindled heated debate and precipitated a variety of governmental actions at the national, state and local levels designed either to nullify the rulings or hinder their effectuation. These governmental regulations have, in turn, spawned further litigation in which resulting judicial refinements in the law have been no more successful in dampening the controversy. The law with respect to abortion in mid-19th century America followed the common law of England in all but a few states. By the time of the Civil ... Read more » |

At China Law Blog, Dan Harris has advice for negotiating with Chinese business during periods of economic slowdown. There's a lot of useful insight here regarding cultural and political differences that can affect negotiation relationships, to wit: There’s a filter bubble. Chinese bureaucrats and SOE bosses don’t see reality the same way American and European MNC managers do. Within China the official party line is that everything is going according to plan. It’s rebalancing and the expected results of a successful anti-corruption campaign. Everything is fine. Don’t assume that your Chinese counterparty is as nervous or anxious as you would be at the start of a sustained recession. He may still feel that time is on his side. Harris, who has previously posted on issues with enforcing contracts in Chinese courts, posted earlier this week on a novel but untested idea for facilitating such enforcement: an "agreement to enforce" clause in which the parties con ...

#Trademark Law (BitLaw)
Trademark Law in the United StatesTrademark law governs the use of a device (including a word, phrase, symbol, product shape, or logo) by a manufacturer or merchant to identify its goods and to distinguish those goods from those made or sold by another. Service marks, which are used on services rather than goods, are also governed by 'Trademark law.' In the United States, certain common law trademark rights stem merely from the use of a mark. However, to obtain the greatest protection for a mark, it is almost always advisable to register the mark, either with the federal government, if possible, or with a state government. A mark which is registered with federal government should be marked with the symbol. Unregistered trademarks should be marked with a tm , while unregistered service marks should be marked with a sm .

By Steven Boutwell on April 30, 2015 Posted in Intellectual Property For many inventors, the grant of a patent application is quite exciting. However, once the inventor seeks to market their invention, they can find the process costly and overwhelming. Often when small companies or solo inventors develop new ideas that are later patented, they discover that manufacture or use of the patented invention is unmanageable for an entity of their size. Rather than sit on this technology and let the patent protection expire, these persons will seek to sell their patented idea to another person or company who can use them. Scattered among firms and investors who are attempting to acquire valuable patents for use in their own businesses are non-practicing entities, who have more litigious purposes in mind. Non-practicing entities, which are known colloquially as “patent trolls,” are entities that purchase patents solely for the purpose of enforcement of the patent rights. Patent troll ... Read more » |

GVSU's approach to pre-law encourages students to pursue majors that will complement their law degree while providing the diverse intellectual foundation necessary for success in the field of law.

Islamic Law is a comprehensive system covering the human being’s relationship with his Creator, with his fellow human beings, and with his society and nation. It also deals with the relationship between nations in both war and peace. Most jurists divide the study of Islamic Law into two broad categories: Devotional Law and Transaction Law. This division is built upon the fact that the injunctions dealt with by each of these two categories have quite different and distinct primary objectives. Devotional Law deals with the injunctions that have as their primary objective attaining nearness to Allah, showing Him gratitude, and seeking eternal reward in the Hereafter. This includes prayer, fasting, Hajj, jihad, zakah, and the fulfillment of covenants.

This covers many branches of law, including Commercial Law and Personal Law. < ... Read more » |
